"Dispatch everyone to find the woman in the portrait."
"Look for her all the way in the direction of the North Desert, quietly protect her, and don't let her have an accident."
"All the big roads and small roads are gone, and all the personnel are dispatched."
Chu Yu looked at the black-clothed people kneeling in front of him and said coldly.
When he catches Xiao Changge, he will definitely want her to look good.
The people below nodded, and left quietly as if they had never been.
"Xiao Changge!"
Chu Yu gritted his teeth and said, got on his horse and went in another direction.
Xiao Yongjue's ten carts of grain and grass and more than 2,000 people were arrested, Xiao Yongde and Chu Mo were trapped in the northern desert, there were not enough people and not enough food and grass to last for a few days at most, even if Xiao Changge went, what could he do, it was difficult to reverse the situation.
She is also a dead end by herself.
Chu Yu was angry, angry that Xiao Changge was worried about Xiao Yongde despite himself, and he was even more angry that she left without saying a word.
It would be nice to say hello to him before leaving, but no.
When this matter is resolved, he will definitely ask Xiao Changge to apologize to him and admit his mistake.
"Drive."
Chu Yu tugged on the reins, his legs between the horse's belly, and he didn't look like a weak person at all.
Wei Ben was resting, and it could be seen that the cloud-piercing arrow burning in the sky hurriedly climbed up.
Stared blankly at the sky until the cloud-piercing arrows dissipated.
"Didn't you think you also like to admire the moon?"
Xiao Changge was woken up by Wei's movements, and seeing that Wei stared at the sky for a long time, she rubbed her eyes and became a lot more sober.
It was still dark, and the moon could only be used as companions and by the light of the moon.
"What is that?"
Xiao Changge asked when he saw Wei staring at the direction where the fireworks had just risen.
"That's a cloud-piercing arrow."
"A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops come to meet each other."
Xiao Changge frowned, she hadn't seen it but read the explanation in the book.
Cloud-piercing arrows...
"Sleep, I'll have to go tomorrow."
Wei's gaze slowly fell on Xiao Changge, and then sat down where he was lying again, closing his eyes.
Xiao Changge nodded, she still has to hurry tomorrow morning, she must ensure that she has enough time to rest, otherwise she will be easily tired on the road.
Xiao Changge closed his eyes and slept until dawn, hearing the sound of rustling around him, and Wei buried the fire with soil.
Northern Desert
When Xiao Yongde woke up, it was two days later, and Chu Mo looked worried.
"General Xiao, are you okay?"
Chu Mo hurriedly went to Xiao Yongde's side to help him up, only to see that Xiao Yongde's hair had turned gray, and he was not as young as before.
"I'm fine, what's going on outside?"
Xiao Yongde asked worriedly.
Xia Ruoyun entered the tent with a bowl of water, and mixed a few grains of rice in the water.
"General Xiao is awake, he should be hungry, but he wants to drink porridge first?"
Xia Ruoyun brought the bowl in his hand to Xiao Yongde, and Xiao Yongde looked down.
There are only a handful of rice.
There is only water in the whole bowl of porridge.
"Thank you, Third Imperial Princess."
Xiao Yongde only paused, took the bowl in Xia Ruoyun's hand, and poured water into his stomach with a grunt.
"General Xiao, don't worry, if I'm still hungry, I'll go outside again."
Xia Ruoyun said softly, Xiao Yongde wiped the corner of his mouth with his hand, and handed the bowl to Xia Ruoyun.
"Thank you to the third princess, the ministers are full, and the rest is left to the people and soldiers, how many days have I been unconscious?"
Xiao Yongde said gratefully, and then turned his head to look at Chu Mo and asked.
Looking at the few grains of rice in this bowl, he knew that Xia Ruoyun had worked hard to get it, how could he let Xia Ruoyun do this again, he could not eat it, but the people and soldiers outside couldn't.
"Two days."
"It's been two days, and there are still three days..."
"Don't worry, General, I'm already trying to find a way to save Yongjue."
Chu Mo was afraid that Xiao Yongde would faint again, and hurriedly said.
Now this situation is inseparable from Xiao Yongde, and it is impossible for him to exchange Xiao Yongde for Xiao Yongjue.
He doesn't care whether Xiao Yongjue lives or dies, but once Xiao Yongde is gone, the entire army will collapse.
Now that the situation is urgent, Xiao Yongde cannot be left without it.
"Your Highness, rest assured, the minister is not stupid, whether the country is important or the child is important, the minister can carry it clearly."
Xiao Yongde stretched out his hand to stop Chu Mo from continuing.
"The minister will not give up the soldiers who follow the minister for the sake of Yongjue, and he will not let these soldiers lose their lives in vain in order to save Yongjue."
"What does the general mean..."
Chu Mo's expression moved, and he asked.
"When the minister returns to Beijing in triumph, he and his wife will ask for guilt, and they can't protect my son."
Xiao Yongde said firmly, make a decision as soon as possible, and give up as soon as possible.
"General."
Xia Ruoyun shouted in surprise.
"The three princesses don't want to persuade again, the ministers have made up their minds."
Xiao Yongde seemed to know what Xia Ruoyun was going to say, so he took the lead.
Chu Mo grabbed Xia Ruoyun and shook his head at her, signaling her not to say any more.
Xia Ruoyun pursed her lips, Xiao Yongde was stubborn, and it was useless to make up her mind no matter what she said, not to mention that she was an outsider or a woman, some things were okay to talk to Chu Mo in the room, but she couldn't talk about them on the stage.
"Your Highness, you can come as you want, don't take care of the ministers."
Xiao Yongde turned his head to look at Chu Modao.
Chu Mo's prestige among those soldiers was not lower than him, plus Chu Mo had grown up in the Northern Desert and had experienced a hundred battles, he believed in him.
"Okay."
"The first thing to be solved now is the matter of grain and grass, without which the people and soldiers in the city will not survive for ten days."
"Didn't you say three days before?"
Xiao Yongde raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, he asked them earlier if there was only one cart of grain and grass left, this cart of grain and grass was distributed to the people in the city, and it would last for three to five days at most.
"In fact, there are two carts, and one cart was hidden by Lao Cai, and after His Royal Highness found out, he asked the soldiers to hand over all the grain and grass, and give it all to the people in the city, and the soldiers were not allowed to share the cart of grain and grass, and Lao Cai was sent to distribute the grain and grass as a punishment."
Xia Ruoyun whispered, observing Xiao Yongde's face.
Seeing his serious face, Xia Ruoyun thought that Xiao Yongde was going to get angry, but it turned out that she was thinking too much.
"Your Highness did the right thing."
Xiao Yongde praised.
"Now is the time to employ people, and it is the right thing to do to make meritorious contributions."
Xiao Yongde added that Chu Mo was still afraid that Xiao Yongde would scold him.
After all, Xiao Yongde can't hold sand in his eyes, if this kind of private collection of public things is put away, that person will definitely die a long time ago.
"In the past few days, I have sent people to guard the city gate, I am afraid that Yan Wuxian will not be able to bear to carry out a sneak attack."
Xiao Yongde advised, and Chu Mo nodded: "General Xiao, don't worry, I have already arranged the people." โ
"There are our men around the city gates, and we also inform the governor of Niucheng to pay attention to it, and don't let suspicious people into the city."
Chu Mo replied, Xiao Yongde was a little relieved.
Chu Mo never needs to worry about doing things, on the contrary, if Xiao Yongjue does things, he will have to ask again and again to make sure that there is no problem before he can rest assured.
If Xiao Yongjue had half of Chu Mo, he would not have been arrested by Yan Wuxian and them today.
It's a normal person who knows that now the outside of the Northern Desert is occupied by Yan Wuxian and them, and the outside is full of Yan Wuwu and Qi Xuan's people, but he still walked straight into the road, isn't this equivalent to telling those people that the Chu State sent troops over and that he had grain and grass, so he almost wrote words on his face.
said so, but Xiao Yongde still had it in his heart
is hoping that Xiao Yongjue will not have an accident.
He is sorry for the Yan family and his children, he has been leading soldiers to fight when they were young and has not taken care of them, and he has not hugged them a few times until they grow up, he is incompetent as a father.
Seeing Xiao Yongde's frowning appearance, Chu Mo knew that he was worried about Xiao Yongjue.
What father doesn't worry about his son? Except, of course, the Emperor of Chu.
Because he has too many sons, and everyone wants to have sons for him, he does not lack these.
Outside the Northern Desert City
Yan Wuxian hugged the beauty in one hand and held the wine glass in the other.
"Brother Qi, you shouldn't be happy to attack the first line of defense in the Northern Desert now, why are you sullen and unhappy, and you haven't even taken a few sips of this wine."
Yan Wuxian asked.
Qi Xuan held the wine glass in his hand but didn't drink it for a long time, thoughtfully, and didn't know what he was thinking.
"I'm wondering why Emperor Chu only sent 2,000 soldiers and horses, will there be any fraud in this?"
Qi Xuan raised his head, and a strange light flowed in his eyes.
"Haha, even if there is fraud, Yan Qi is stronger than Chu Guo when he joins forces, we will kill as many as we come, even if Xiao Yongde is a revenant under my sword."
Yan Wuxian let go of the beauty, and the more she talked, the happier she became, and she took another sip.
"Now Xiao Yongjue is in our hands, if Xiao Yongde refuses to exchange himself, then we will kill Xiao Yongjue, give his head to Xiao Yongde, and let him send the white-haired man to the black-haired man."
Yan Wuxian said sharply.
He has not forgotten the humiliation given to him by Emperor Chu.
He knelt down and begged him in front of so many people, but he put on a foul face for him.
When he completely took the Northern Desert, he approached the capital and forced the Chu Emperor to abdicate and give up the land.
Since then, there is no Chu State, only Yan State.
"But I always have a bad premonition, so it's better for us to be careful."
Qi Xuan was scared, Yan Wuxian looked sad, he has always hated the most timid people, and Qi Xuan is this character.
He couldn't understand why Emperor Qi would give up the throne to Qi Xuan.
Let's say that he is smart, he is very smart, he has been able to write since he was a child, and he is more numb than other princes when he memorizes the Analects, but in the final analysis, it is just a paper talk, and when it comes to actual combat, he is so cowardly.
If Qi Zhao was still there, he would definitely raise a glass and laugh with him, instead of looking forward and backward.
It's a pity that Qi Zhao's fate is thin and he doesn't have that opportunity.
If it weren't for the fact that Qi was second only to Yan, and Yan would still be able to control Qi after taking Chu in the future, he would really not choose to cooperate with Qi Xuan.
Cooperating with Qi Xuan also made him lose a lot of things.
This time, let Qi Xuan send troops, but he Yan Guo cut half of the city, but fortunately, that city had no effect on Yan Guo.
"Be careful, we're not careful enough now, how can we be careful?"
Yan Wuxian was so angry that his heart was a little blocked, and even his tone was a little unfriendly.
Qi Xuan, just like his father, always said that he was careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, and he was unwilling to send troops to resist, so he was always pressed under the feet of the Chu State, and there were a lot of tributes every year, and even his sister was sent to the palace as an item.
After so many years, this cautiously did not see any progress in the Yan State, nor did the Yan State be able to trample the Chu State under his feet.
On the contrary, the Emperor of Chu was violent and ruthless, but he could make the Chu State live better.
It was precisely because of the disagreement that he brought his men and horses to the palace and forced Emperor Yan to hand over the throne and retire with peace of mind.
As for the other princes...
Chu Yan once said a right sentence, cutting grass must be eradicated, and only by eliminating future troubles can we be stable and worry-free.
The first emperor only had one son, and it was enough.
"Don't be angry, brother, I'm just talking casually, you just ignore what I say."
Qi Xuan noticed that Yan Wuxian was angry, and hurriedly rounded the field and took all the fault on himself.
